 Starch Is A Great Guar Substitute for Erosion Control |
We often get calls from people in the erosion control industry looking for organic substitutes to guar tackifiers. They typically contact us for one of two reasons – either they're always on the search for new and improved products, or  Guidelines |

Sediment remains the number 1 pollutant of our nations waterways
"Mitigating the effects of sediment once it has entered the drainage system and aquatic environment is difficult, expensive and labour–intensive."
Establishing Remedial Action Plans
The landowner has the responsibility to oversee development of a site–specific erosion control and storm water management plan and the installation, maintenance, and inspection of all best management practices (BMPs).Construction–Site Pollution encounters the contamination of soils with materials, mostly chemicals, that are out of place or are present at concentrations higher than normal which may have adverse effects on humans or other accompanying organisms.Sediment Remediation BMPs include structural and non–structural measures, practices, techniques or devices used to avoid or minimize soil, sediment or pollutants carried by runoff across impervious surfaces that prevent overland flow from naturally soaking into the earth.Green remediation is the use of these best management practices, measures (BMPs) to reduce the environmental footprint of actions designed to clean up contaminated media (soil, groundwater, etc.) and return impacted property to productive use..REMEDIAL ACTION Practices include the requirements to develop erosion and sedimentation control plans, specifying plan content and measures to keep sediment–laden mud from washing into storm sewers and watersheds where debris can clog creek channels and choke off aquatic life.Asbestos–tainted soil [ dirty soil ], may be encountered during these soil–disturbing activities. When asbestos–containing materials are damaged or disturbed by repair, remodeling or demolition activities (dredging & sediment remediation) microscopic fibers may become airborne and can be inhaled into the lungs, where they can cause significant health problems such as Mesothelioma.Most of this "dirt" is the result of poorly maintained and woefully inadequate erosion measures and structures on active construction sites. Poorly maintained conditions are predominantly in the large (macro) pores of saturated soils, and may be ameliorated by soil stabilization practices.Several sediment control measures
- site planning (such as careful construction scheduling
- preservation of existing vegetation)
- physical installation of structural control materials (such as erosion control mats or silt fencing).
- cleaning soil
- Thermal desorption, for example, is a proven, cost effective and accurate method for the treatment of petroleum contaminated soils impacted with gasoline, diesel, fuels and other volatile organic compounds.
- sediment retention fiber rolls, known as SRFRs– used to inhibit the migration of sediment that has been displaced and carried by flowing water.
Erosion management controls
Erosion management controls i.e. terraces and dams including log erosion barriers, check dams, detention basins, debris racks, curb erosion thus saving runaway farm lands and end the yearly loss of $200,000.000 worth of rich soil that now races into the sea – thus avoiding Environmental Damage.Soil erosion, on the other hand is the process by which the land’s surface is worn away by the action of wind, water, ice and gravity. Natural, or geologic, terrain is a tremendous factor in creating the earth as we know it today. Except for some cases of shoreline and stream erosion, natural erosion occurs at a very slow and uniform rate and remains a vital factor in maintaining environmental balance.Environmental remediation will remain an important global issue for the 21st century because its impact on the environment, food security and quality of life is the process of removing contaminants, pollutants or toxins from adversely affected environment–efforts to control soil erosion with scientific research.A subscription to your user–friendly sediment control guide provides a wealth of information and range of options for the selection, construction, and installation of soil bioengineering methods, bioremediation practices, and biotechnical slope stabilization products, for governments and citizens alike.
